You are thinking of Water Power which is loosely based off on the true story of Michael H. Kenyon, known as the enema bandit, who from 1965 to 1974 committed several armed robberies of women starting at the University of Illinois Urbana continuing around the country and ending in Chicago, Illinois, some of which involved administering enemas to the women.

That's exactly the movie I saw. Definitely one of the harshest porn films I ever saw in a Pussycats theater, though there was usually 1 non-consensual scene in every movie of that era, sometimes a Lolita-ish scene as well. Porn movies got a bit more tame shortly after that.

I think people sometime forget that while porn has obviously become more visually hardcore. None of what you see today compares to the extreme type of content porn producers filmed in the 70's and 80's.
Could you imagine anyone even considering doing a movie similar to Water Power and it wouldn't be what you see so much as what the subject matter is. I'm old enough to have seen many movies that you can't find anymore because they preceded the digital age by decades and while Tube sites are mortally dangerous to modern porn. It's one of the few sources of where you can see many of those past movies.

It's kind of like when you see pre-code movies from the early 1930's - the violence, the darkness, the blunt language, the sexual innuendo, the roles that women played - it's shocking when you see what was going on before the movie industry was leashed - and it's the same with porn of that early era - and the fact that it was all being played in movie theaters across the country is even more mind-blowing.
I think the thing about Water Power is that it didn't seem to be a film that was made to shock people, like Lizzie Borden and those types made - it was just a really really dark nasty story being told in porn form.

Was it really leashed or did it start to separate into two different industries. One that would create content that is more acceptable and one that would be more underground. I mean Hollywood shot a movie in 1978 called Pretty Baby starring Susan Sarandon, Keith Carradine and a 12 years old Brooke Shield as the main protagonist. That movie included child prostitution, pedophilia, and a completely nude 12 years old child actress.
Water Power is less a porn movie and more an actual thriller that simply as some hardcore content intermixed with the rest of the action.
